If you want to cut down the carb content even further, then skip the ginger and garlic paste and substitute it with a tablespoon of dried ginger powder. We call this powder saunth – pronounced ‘sawnth’ in Hindi. The powder is easily available at any Asian store and is often used with fennel seeds powder. The highlight of this chicken is the gravy. I enjoyed a bowl and felt absolutely satisfied after finishing it. You will too, try it.
